Nov. 5, 2001
The University of Missouri doubles team of Urska Juric and Katka Sevcikova continue to look strong as they prepare for this week's Omni Hotels National Indoor Championship. Juric and Sevcikova won five of their six matches over the weekend at the Wildcat Doubles Invitational in Manhattan, Kan.
They entered the event as the No. 1 ranked team and swept through pool play advancing to the main draw of the tournament. In the opening round of the main draw, Juric and Sevcikova fell to the Oklahoma State team of Dominika Olszewska and Ashleigh Dolman 8-6. Olszewska and Dolman eventually became the tournament champion.
Juric and Sevcikova went on to win the consolation bracket defeating Sharla Whitaker and Karin Westberg of Iowa State 3-2(ret.) and then Lia Dimingo and Dominique Lemperle of Colorado 8-3 in the finals.
Juric and Sevcikova will now compete in the 2001 Omni Hotels National Indoor Championship, which they qualified for earlier in the month by winning the Central Regional Championship. The national tournament will begin on Thursday in Dallas, Texas.
